We have a great new video about the Colorado River that I hope you will take 3 minutes to watch.

Itís the story of a vital lifeline in the desert - a river that supports millions of people and endangered wildlife. But itís also a river in danger. The Colorado River is so over-tapped that it is barely a trickle by the time it reaches the sea.

We can change this, but we need Congress to act.

Already, our efforts have mobilized tens of thousands of individuals across the country to email and call their member of Congress. Hundreds of local and national media outlets have carried our story, and we have sparked lively dialogues on social media.

But we need your help to keep up these efforts that are increasing the pressure on our nation's leaders to stand strong in support of our rivers.

Help us keep up the fight to protect the Colorado and all the rivers we depend on for drinking water and recreation, for life itself. Watch this new video then please donate whatever you can afford today.

Youíre the reason we can do what we do. You make our work possible. Thank you.

Rivers and streams are the arteries and veins of our planet. Imagine if we put in our arteries and veins what we put in our rivers and streams. How long would we last? How long will our world last if we do not begin respecting all of it?

I'm sorry the video wasn't up when you visited Dandelion--I just rechecked and it was there,
You cannot currently send a star to Dandelion because you have done so within the last day.

It has been an honor to be able to have seen this river in all it's glory. I've walked down inside the walls that dam it, I've flown over it in a helicopter and driven to it and touched it's waters. It is priceless. It must be protected. Thank you for posting the talking river.
